As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Ma Teng was the first to tremble.

In terms of seniority and official position, Ma Teng and Cao Cao are of the same generation. When the Eighteenth Route princes jointly attacked Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng also participated.

Dong Zhuo was defeated, and seventeen of the eighteen princes stopped pursuing him. Only Cao Cao was determined to eradicate Dong Zhuo, who had harmed the great man.

However, with too few troops, he returned in a big defeat.

For this matter, Ma Teng also comforted Cao Cao, drank a few glasses of wine, and lamented that the fate of the big man was cut by Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao was a few years younger than Ma Teng, and the two called each other brothers and got very drunk.

Cao Cao called him elder brother, his son is naturally Cao Cao's nephew, the past is vivid in my memory, Cao Cao's voice of calling his elder brother is lingering, but now, his son molested and teased Cao Cao's first wife in front of his face .

There is also a great desire to marry Cao Cao's wife as his wife.

What's the difference between this and a nephew asking to marry his aunt?

Although he and Cao Cao are not biological brothers, seniority is ultimately here.

Well, even though the people outside the pass are tough and do not pay attention to these Confucian etiquette, Cao Cao is not a few years younger than him, and Ding Xuan is Cao Cao's first wife. According to this age, Ding Xuan is much older than Ma Chao.

Although Ding Xuan looks very young, he looks like Ma Chao's peers.

Ma Teng was buzzing in his head, before Ding Xuan could answer, he said sharply to Ma Chao: "Chao Er, don't be rude to Madam!"

Ma Chao glanced at Ma Teng and said calmly, "How is this rude?"

Love at first sight is love at first sight, and love over time is about weighing the pros and cons. He is not love at first sight, nor is love over time, he is a glimpse.

He always thought that the woman he would marry would be as gentle and dignified as his mother, but it was only when he met Ding Xuan that he realized that being bright and flamboyant is also an attitude towards life.

Ding Xuan didn't look like his mother, so why did he blurt out "Mother" the moment he saw her?

After thinking about it, it's probably the kind of warmth that comes from being dexterous and transparent to the extreme.

It was a kind of homely warmth, which I have never felt since my mother died at the age of seven.

The world thinks that he is the most dismissive, but in fact it is what he most desires.

Ma Chao stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Ding Xuan, and said, "For a transparent person like Madam, marrying Cao Mengde is truly ruined."

Zhuge Liang paused for a moment while shaking his feather fan, then looked at Ma Chao, and said, "Oh? Then marrying you is not a waste?"

"Madam grew up in the Central Plains, read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and learned Confucian etiquette, but Meng Qi said just now that you grew up in a place where Han and Hu were mixed, and you don't know Confucian etiquette. There is such a big difference in life like this. How do you ask Madam to deal with it?" ?”

Ma Chao glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said regretfully, "Although I grew up in a place where Han and Hu were mixed together, I was also born in a family. If Madam wishes to come to Xiliang, I will naturally take Madam first."

"The way of Confucius and Mencius, it doesn't matter if you respect one."

Zhuge Liang covered his face with a feather fan, smiled slightly, and said: "Since Meng Qi is willing to abide by the principles of Confucius and Mencius, he must understand the three cardinal principles and five constant principles."

"Meng Qi's brother and Cao Gong are siblings, and Cao Gong is Meng Qi's uncle. Since Cao Gong is Meng Qi's uncle, then Mrs. Cao is Meng Qi's aunt."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's voice paused slightly, his eyes gleamed lightly, and teased: "The way of Confucius and Mencius is the way of heaven and earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers. How can there be any reason for nephews to marry aunts?"

Ma Chao's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhuge Liang's words are completely a trap, saying that he lives in a place where Han and Hu are mixed together, just to let him say that he is willing to respect Confucianism for Ding Xuan, but he is willing to respect Confucianism, and Ding Xuan is his aunt.

It is even more impossible to marry Ding Xuan.

Ma Teng felt that what Zhuge Liang said was very reasonable.

Although it is normal for women to remarry in this era, and the barbarians outside the customs still have the tradition of marrying their sons after their fathers die, Ding Xuan married Cao Cao before. Cao Cao, who used to be called his brother and brother with him, will always have a feeling of resentment when facing his daughter-in-law Ding Xuan. Cao Cao couldn't help feeling guilty.

Although Ding Xuan's appearance is as bright as a spring flower and as bright as an autumn moon, no matter how you look at it, it looks good, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like a pair with his son who is as beautiful as brocade and jade.

Although Ding Xuan was only ten years old when she was forced to marry Cao Cao, Ding Xuan was not much older than Ma Chao.

But he still has a sense of sight that Ding Xuan is a generation ahead of Ma Chao.

In order to completely dispel Ma Chao's idea of ​​wanting to marry Ding Xuan, Ma Teng said to Ding Xuan: "Chao'er made a slip of the tongue for a while, don't blame my siblings."

Ding Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows at the sound of brother and sister.

——The news of her quitting Cao Cao in anger, why did it spread so slowly?

Or is it that Cao Cao deliberately blocked the news, only letting the news of Cao Ang being blessed by the phoenix spread, but not the news of the relationship between the two of them?

After thinking about it, Ding Xuan thought it was the latter.

Facing Ma Teng's call from siblings, Ding Xuan cleared his throat, and said: "Although others call me Ma'am because of my cousin's face, I can accept it after hearing it for a long time, but Ma Gong's call from brother to sister, please forgive me." I am ashamed."

Ma Chao stood with his hands behind his back, his fingers rubbing the white jade ring on his thumb, his eyes shone like stars in the night, and he looked at Ding Xuan with a very faint smile.

Ding Xuan said: "My cousin's wife and concubines are beautiful, I'm just my cousin's cousin, don't confuse Ma Gong."

Ma Teng's face changed slightly.

Because Cao Ang was almost killed in the first battle of Wancheng, Ding Xuan and Cao Cao had a big fight, and even had trouble with "husband", he didn't hear about it.

Cao Ang was brought up by Ding Xuan, she was her life and root, and also Cao Wei's future successor, once he almost died in battle because of Cao Cao's lust, and Ding Xuan had a staunch and jealous personality, so he had to fight over this matter For the sake of separation, it is not uncommon.

Cao Ang is the chosen son of heaven, even if Cao Cao and Ding Xuan get together and leave, his position as the heir cannot be shaken.

After the reconciliation, as Ding Xuan said, Cao Cao was nothing more than a cousin to her.

In this way, Ding Xuan and Ma Chao don't seem to have any taboos about aunts and nephews.

Ding Xuan's ability is extremely top-notch, otherwise, with her embarrassing status as Cao Cao's former wife, it is impossible to win the respect of Cao Ying's generals and counselors, and even be used by her.

As for appearance, let alone.

He is a prince after all, what kind of beautiful woman has he never seen?

But none of them can match Ding Xuan.

It's no wonder that his cold-hearted and unfeminine son met Ding Xuan and asked to marry him in disregard of the code of ethics.

Ma Teng's head was buzzing, at one moment he felt that what Zhuge Liang said was very reasonable, and at another moment he felt that it would be good for Ma Chao to marry Ding Xuan.

As for Ding Xuan not letting him call her younger brother and sister, Ma Teng agreed in a daze.

Starlight poured down from the clouds, and the Feng Liuqing Jun's family raised their brows slightly, looking at Zhuge Liang provocatively.

Zhuge Liang pinched the feather fan with his fingers, still smiling on his face, but his voice had an imperceptible coolness: "Madam, do you want to agree to Meng Qi?"

Zhuge Liang turned his face away, looked at Ding Xuan, and slightly tightened his fingers holding the feather fan.

Ding Xuan smiled lightly, "Yes, and no."

"I told Ma Gong that I am not my cousin's wife, because although I am a woman, I am also a person with independent personality. I am not a wife and concubine living under the protection of my cousin. I can be highly praised by the counselors of Cao Ying. , not relying on the identity of the cousin's wife."

Ding Xuan raised her chin slightly, and smiled brightly: "I, Ding Huaiyu, didn't exist because of Cao Mengde who monopolizes the four states in the nine states of the world."

"It's because of me, Ding Huaiyu, that my cousin was able to accept Zhang Xiu, defeat Liu Biao, surrender Lu Bu, defeat Yuan Shao, and take Jingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou under his command in just half a year."

However, Cao Cao in history did not pacify these places after spending nearly ten years.

"Before the Battle of Wancheng, what my cousin owned was a war-torn Yuzhou. Yuzhou belongs to the Central Plains, and it has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is not a base that can be attacked or defended. At that time, my cousin, not to mention Ma Gong, even the little Zhang Xiu, never looked down on my cousin."

That's why Zhang Xiu was his aunt Zou's, and she rebelled after she surrendered.

"Others call me Madam, and I answer. But Ma Gong may not know that the word "Madam" does not mean that I am my cousin's wife, but I am called Madam. Just like my cousin is also called Cao Gong, "Madam" The two characters are the respectful title others call me."

In this era, it is mostly called characters, but it is too intimate for a man to call a woman. Therefore, Cao Ying's generals either call her wife, or in terms of the relationship between the Ding family, those who call her sister are called sister, and those who call her sister are called sister. sister.

"So Ma Gong can call my wife, but the words "brother and sister" are exempt."

The starlight fell on Ding Xuan's face, Ma Chao played with the white jade finger, Zhuge Liang's feather fan stopped shaking for a while, and the courtyard was so quiet that one could almost hear the rustling of fallen leaves falling on the ground.

Ding Xuan's eyes moved away from Ma Teng and landed on Ma Chao, with a narrow smile, he said, "Then, does Meng Qi understand what I mean now?"

She is an independent person, not a commodity that can be given away at will, let alone a chip that can be used for betting.

She is what she is.

No matter who she ends up with, it's because she likes being together, not because of some naive gamble, or because the situation forces her to do so.

Ma Chao's sword eyebrows stretched out, his eyes flashed like shooting stars, and he said, "It is precisely because of this that I need Huaiyu to come to me even more."

"Huaiyu wants two things."

Ma Chao raised two fingers together, shook them, and said confidently: "First, I hope the troubled times will end, and the Holy Son will rule the world. Second, I hope that there will be a couple for a lifetime."

The dignified and cold Mr. Jin of the family stands in the wind, his high curled hair dances in the night wind, the jade hairpin sets off his face like jade, and the wind flows unrestrainedly in the corners of his eyes and brows: "Who says fish and bear's paws are not compatible?" Have both?"

"I want both the beautiful mountains and rivers of thousands of miles and you."

Zhuge Liang's eyes turned cold: "Can't Meng Qi understand human speech?"

"Madam is not something that can be snatched by chance. Whom Madam is with depends entirely on whether you like that person or not."

Ma Chao took a step forward, looked at Ding Xuan, and said, "Then, does Madam like me?"
